Your Home Is Your Castle
Often we hear that if someone wants in bad enough they will get in. This is true in one sense, but hardening the target — your home — goes a long way to encouraging the would be robber or burglar to move on to a softer target.
Getting Started With Securing Your Home
When it comes to moving into a new home, ensuring the security of your property should be a top priority. Calling ApexAccess to rekey your new home is a crucial step in maintaining the safety of your premises. One of the primary concerns is unauthorized key duplicates. You never know who might have had access to the previous keys, whether it was contractors, real estate agents, or previous occupants. By rekeying the locks, you eliminate the risk of someone possessing an unauthorized duplicate key and gaining entry into your home.
Another important aspect is the identification and replacement of low-quality locks and hardware. Many new homes come with generic locks that are often of inferior quality, making them vulnerable to break-ins. A reputable locksmith can assess the existing locks and hardware, identifying any potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities. They can then recommend and install high-quality locks that meet industry standards, significantly enhancing the security of your home.
It’s also common for new homes to be keyed alike or master keyed for the convenience of contractors and realtors. This means that multiple homes will use locks that can be opened with a single key. While this may seem convenient, it poses a significant security risk. By rekeying the locks, a reputable locksmith can ensure that each lock operates on a unique key, enhancing the security of your home and limiting access to unauthorized individuals.
In addition to rekeying, a ApexAccess can offer security lock upgrades to further protect your home.
One effective upgrade is the use of spool pins, which are designed to prevent picking and lock bumping attempts. These pins make it significantly more challenging for intruders to manipulate the lock, adding an extra layer of security to your doors. By investing in such upgrades, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is well-protected against sophisticated intrusion techniques.
In summary, contacting ApexAccess to rekey your new home is crucial for various reasons. It eliminates the risk of unauthorized key duplicates, allows for the identification and replacement of low-quality locks, addresses the issue of homes being keyed alike or master keyed, and provides an opportunity for security lock upgrades. By taking these steps, you are proactively enhancing the security of your home and ensuring the safety of your loved ones and belongings.
